-- Sort --
----------
-- We are using the classical heapsort algorithm (i.e. Floyd's Treesort3)
-- as described by Knuth ("The Art of Programming", Volume III, first
-- edition, section 5.2.3, p. 145-147) with the modification that is
-- mentioned in exercise 18. For more details on this algorithm, see
-- Robert B. K. Dewar PhD thesis "The use of Computers in the X-ray
-- Phase Problem". University of Chicago, 1968, which was the first
-- publication of the modification, which reduces the number of compares
-- from 2NlogN to NlogN.
procedure Sort (N : Natural; Xchg : Xchg_Procedure; Lt : Lt_Function) is
Max : Natural := N;
-- Current Max index in tree being sifted. Note that we make Max
-- Natural rather than Positive so that the case of sorting zero
-- elements is correctly handled (i.e. does nothing at all).
procedure Sift (S : Positive);
-- This procedure sifts up node S, i.e. converts the subtree rooted
-- at node S into a heap, given the precondition that any sons of
-- S are already heaps.

----------
procedure Sift (S : Positive) is
C : Positive := S;
Son : Positive;
Father : Positive;
begin-- This is where the optimization is done, normally we would do a
-- comparison at each stage between the current node and the larger
-- of the two sons, and continue the sift only if the current node
-- was less than this maximum. In this modified optimized version,
-- we assume that the current node will be less than the larger
-- son, and unconditionally sift up. Then when we get to the bottom
-- of the tree, we check parents to make sure that we did not make
-- a mistake. This roughly cuts the number of comparisions in half,
-- since it is almost always the case that our assumption is correct.
